Fuss Over Your New Lawn Like an Egg
🗓️ Updated July 2025
When I was in eighth grade we had to take Health class. Nobody ever wanted to take Health class — and boys especially dreaded it. Not just because the topics were boring like diet and exercise, or slightly embarrassing like sex ed and reproduction. The real reason we hated it was because we knew we’d be forced to pair up with a girl from class and “parent” a little boy or girl.
Back in my day, the “child” was an egg we had to decorate and carry around for a week. That meant taking it home, keeping it safe, and even finding a babysitter if we went out with friends. I think the idea was to teach us responsibility — or maybe just to scare us out of becoming teenage parents. I’m not sure it really worked.
Well, today you’ve been given your own little “egg”: your newly seeded lawn.
Now it’s your turn to fuss over it. Water it daily. Protect your investment. Take responsibility for its success.
⚠️ Year after year, I see newly seeded lawns fa
il simply from a lack of water.
I don’t want to sound preachy, but following the watering instructions really is the difference between thin, weak grass and a beautiful new lawn.
So, just like I was forced to fuss over a silly egg back in eighth grade, you now need to fuss over your new seed. If you do, you’ll be rewarded. And if you have questions, don’t hesitate to call us.
